I'm all for Facebook pages. The problem is with personal profiles, not with business pages.

However, to use a Facebook page as a substitute for a web or blog site is one of the worst errors a marketer could make.

It's partially an issue of control. Who do you want to control YOUR web presence, you of Facebook?

The second is that page rank isn't important enough. I set up a brand new site four weeks ago for Gevril Group, and we've already had more than 100 search visits.
